The nomination period for RUSA's 2013 achievement awards, travel scholarships and research grants is now open! We have a large variety of awards for both new and accomplished librarians throughout the reference and user services profession. Among them, we have two new awards this year: The Gale Cengage History Research and Innovation Award <http://www.ala.org/rusa/sections/history/research_award> encourages submissions from MLS degreed librarians looking to further research relating to history and history librarianship. Research must reflect interest in one of the History Section's subject-oriented committees: Genealogy, Local History, Instruction and Research Services and Historical Materials. The winner will receive up to $2,500, sponsored by Gale Cengage, and a citation. The BRASS Business Expert Press Award for Academic Business Librarians <http://www.ala.org/rusa/awards/brass_business_expert_press_award> recognizes a librarian new to the field of academic business librarianship to attend the ALA Annual Conference. The winner will receive $1,250 for travel expenses supported by Business Expert Press and a citation. A comprehensive list of these awards with pertinent details about the nomination period and related deadlines is at the RUSA Blog: http://rusa.ala.org/blog/2012/09/18/2013awards-callfornominations/ Questions?
